And we come to the end of season 2 of Buffy. Angel and Kendra are both dead. I care about one more than the other. Apologies for the choppy audio on this, guys, I did my best to clean it up.
There's another MacGuffin buried under the town, and this time it can open a portal to hell. Which was a disappointment- they spoke about this demon with a name, so I was hoping we'd get to see another cool demon costume. Oh well.
The key to this gateway to hell is Angel. And we get to see him being turned by Darla and turning Dru in turn- Spike's origin is still just alluded to, but now that Angel is dead and Spike on the run I'm assuming that will have to wait for the spin-off show.
Willow picks up where Jenny left off, and after one interruption that kills Kendra, she tries again. And it works, all culminating in Angel being returned to goodness right before Buffy stabs him with a sword.
This was an exciting end to the season, but we have to admit there was *quite* a bit of chaff here, I'm hoping the show gets streamlined and less detour-y.
